Dated for 3 yrs, broke up for 3, now I want her back
I had a fantastic girlfriend back when I was 26 and she was 20. We dated for almost three years. Then I was in graduate school and so was she. I began to think that she was self-centered and getting too clingy, so I started to distance myself from her. She broke up with me.
During the next three years, I know she had at least one long-term boyfriend. Now that's over. I think they broke up about 3-4 months ago, possibly longer.
Recently I have been having many feelings about her. We've maintained our friendship, and even went out a couple of times as friends. But recently all I can think about is getting her back. I called her up and asked if we could go out to "catch up" and she agreed.
I wrote her a letter telling her that I want to get back together with her, and tellng her everything that I miss about her. I never sent this letter to her, but I wrote it to envoke all the memories of us dating, and to explain how I've grown in our time apart.
I was thinking about reading this letter to her when we go out this weekend, but I don't know if that is the best course of action.
Any suggestions on how I should approach this?
